How much does it cost to maintain a motorcycle in Argentina: the keys before buying a unit

The article from La Nación discusses the rising popularity of low-cylinder motorcycles in Argentina due to their economic viability compared to cars. It highlights that motorcycles with up to 150cc engines were responsible for a 43.8% increase in registrations during the first half of the year, reaching 440,190 units. To help potential buyers understand the costs associated with owning such a motorcycle, the Cámara de Fabricantes de Motovehículos (CAFAM) published an analysis estimating monthly expenses. The main expense is fuel, costing around $100,000 per month based on average consumption and fuel prices. Additional costs include insurance ($60,000), maintenance ($30,000), leading to a total estimated operational cost of $190,000 per month. The article emphasizes the importance of considering these ongoing costs alongside the initial purchase price.
